X-Bow
The X-Box
. Definition
The X-bow shoots arrows at a huge rate of fire but at low damage. It can target both ground and air units, however its range is increased if it is only targeting ground troops. Another unique factor is that it require Elixir to be loaded before it can be used, so making sure your X-bows are loaded is an important factor to consider while playing. Due to its large range, it is best placed inside your other defences, so it takes little damage. When attacking an X-bow consider sending in high health troops to take the brunt
Tip: If an enemy X-bow has no bow string, it has not been loaded with elixir and cannot fire. If you see this, it is the perfect opportunity to attack it when it cannot defend itself.

- Defensive Tips
- Offensive Tips
- X-Bow has essentially no weakness unless it is set to ground-only mode, determinable by the way it is angled. If it is horizontal to the ground, it can target ground Troops only. If it is tilted up, then it can attack air units as well.
- In order to attack an X-Bow, treat it like a longer-ranged (and stronger) Cannon or Archer Tower, but don't forget that many units are not a problem for this tower. Distract it with high-health units (Giants,P.E.K.K.As, etc.) and destroy it with a large group of attackers such as Archers or Barbarians.
- A single P.E.K.K.A can destroy an X-Bow in 3 or 4 attacks (7.5 to 10 seconds). However, unless it can be deployed close by, the X-Bow's long range and attacks means that the P.E.K.K.A will be significantly damaged before it can begin attacking, even if there are no walls for the P.E.K.K.A to fight through.
- Important tips!
- Attacking players can see if the defender's X-Bow is loaded or not. Currently there is no way to tell exactly how much Elixir it has left, but a player can visually tell when it is empty. When it is loaded, you will see a small clip containing what appears to be small Elixir bolts. An unloaded X-Bow will be lacking the clip, and the bowstring will be missing as well.
- An X-Bow that is empty is completely useless and will not fire.
- Upgrade By Level
- The X-Bow goes through major graphic changes at each level.
- The level 1 X-Bow consists of a huge crossbow-like structure mounted on a base made of light-colored wood.
- On level 2, the X-Bow's base gains gilded legs and rotational mount.
- At level 3 X-Bow base becomes solid black with large black spikes on each corner.
- And Level 4 X-Bow base become golden an the big spikes turn red.
- The X-Bow goes through major graphic changes at each level.
